When you are a dancer, dancing is not a hobby and not a job. It is simply a way of living. That could be noticed in the details of our selfmade women's Maša Kagao Knez and Urša Rupnik's behaviours. Even if a little nervous and unsure at first, they only needed to look at each other to burst into laughter.

It was obvious in the moments of child-like sincerity and trying everything that comes to mind when first seeing a swing. They weren't limited to the close-minded ideas of what is "appropriate" for an adult.

While Urša was being photographed, Maša started rehearsing her coreography, casually implementing dance in the otherwise "serious" office enviornment.

They brought a fresh wave of simplicity and creativity. They brought dance as a background to everything they do.

An idea by definition is something new. And where better to look for something new than in the minds of people whose minds are still fresh and always buzzing; the students of textile design at NTF (Faculty of Natural Sciences and Engineering). We started right ahead, after an inspiring presentation on the history of handbags by the group's mentor Petja Zorec.

So we huffed ...

… and we puffed …

... and the young minds buzzed ...

… and came up with something EXTRAORDINARY …

Out of all of these new and exciting ideas, we can truly say that it was hard to pick one. But at the end a choice had to be made and that's how we got our winning design by Lara Banovac and Anita Miklavcic.

Their design was simple,

elegant

and made by two wonderfully creative young minds.

Although the students learned about sustainable design and recycled materials, we were also the ones to learn about their new creative ideas.
